New Jerseys Update
Over the last past week, a serious number of jerseys have either been unveiled or "leaked", here they are:
Boston Bruins (Officially Announced):
Boston Bruins (Officially Announced):
Carolina Hurricanes (Leaked by EASPORTS):
Columbus Blue Jackets (Officially Announced):
Dallas Stars (Leaked by Stars' Writer Mike Heyka):
Los Angeles Kings (Leaked over at HF Boards):
Washington Capitals (Officially Announced): 
Rumor Central
CAR/PHI- According to the Raleigh News and Observer, the Carolina Hurricanes are waiting on one of their player's decision on whether or not he will waive his no-trade clause. The no.1 consensus is that this player is defenseman Niclas Wallin. The aforementioned trade would send him to Philadelphia for Flyers' defenseman Joni Pitkanen. The Pensylvanian club is keen on getting rid of the young d-man's salary, in an effort to free up more cap space to sign a prominent no.1 center.
MIN- Per the Star Tribune, the Minnesota Wild have chosen to-resign forward Wes Walz over Todd White and defenseman Martin Skoula. All three are set to hit the market on July 1st.
VAN- According to The Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Canucks will place center Marc Chouinard on waivers, in an effort to buy him out. He is/was set to earn US$1.1 million this season. Vancouver, per the Vancouver Province, will not play the "free-agency game" this offseason, as they currently have 14 players under contract for an estimated sum of US$41 million. They currently possess 13 unrestricted free-agents.

Three-Way Deal in the Making?
According to numerous "club executives", the Carolina Hurricanes, Edmonton Oilers and Philadelphia Flyers are working on a three-way trade that would send:
- Forward Eric Cole from Carolina to Edmonton.
- Forward Raffi Torres from Edmonton to Philadelphia.
- Defenseman Joni Pitkanen from Philadelphia to Carolina.
Now even though this is pure, but "based", speculation, this trade would make perfect sense, for the following reasons:
1) EDM: Looking desperately for a forward that could create some "buzz" in Edmonton, the Oilers may have found their man in Eric Cole, a talented veteran winger with plenty of scoring and offensive ability.
2) PHI: Raffi Torres fits the perfect description of a Flyers' player: big, tough, powerful and talented. Even though those caracteristics depict the Flyers' usual player, the Pensylvanian club does not possess one, which makes Torres a perfect fit. Therefore, it makes the Flyers re-gain the identity they lost over the last past season.
3) CAR: Ever since they lost Anton Babchuk to Europe, the Hurricanes have been looking for a young defenseman who could lead their aging core of d-men. His big frame and offensive talent are exactly what the 'Canes are looking for.
But, unfortunately, it doesn't for this reason:
Why would Philadelphia trade Joni Pitkanen, a player they love and that their remaining fans love, for only an average player in Raffi Torres ?
Of course, this deal, even though having one loop-hole, has a major one.

Habs acquire 7th Round Pick from 'Canes
COLUMBUS-- The Montreal Canadiens acquired a 7th round pick (192nd overall) in this year's NHL entry draft from the Carolina Hurricanes for goaltender Michael Leighton.
Leighton was acquired last season at the trading deadline by the Canadiens.
His acquisition was a bare "depht" move, after Cristobal Huet injured himself and was sidelined for the remainder of the season.
Leighton will compete with John Grahame during this year's pre-season for the Hurricanes' backup goalie spot.
This is Leighton's 5th team in the last past year, after signing a one-year contract with the Anaheim Ducks.
He then was claimed off waivers by the Predators, and then by the Flyers.
He was later dealt to the Canadiens.

New Jerseys for Hurricanes
According to EASPORTS' NHL '08 screenshots, the Carolina Hurricanes will be wearing new uniforms for the 2007-08 season.
Within their new uniforms remain the basic red, black and white colours.
The only "major" difference to these jerseys is the addition of a white stripe to the upper part of the jersey, running through the collar and onto the top of the player's shouder.
Their new jerseys have the same texture as the new Washington Capitals jerseys, or as the popular NHL All-Star Game jerseys.
Even though the Hurricanes didn't "demonstrate" their new jerseys yesterday like the Caps did, I am convinced EASPORTS' NHL '08 is not filled with "imaginary" jerseys.
Expect these "babies" to be worn by the 'Canes in 2007-08.
Enjoy!:
